Jun. 27th, 2003 01:01 pmjust got back from my 6month review with the bosses. they took me for thai, and we sat on the patio under an umbrella. very nice.
The review went well. i got a bonus (cha-CHING), and they kindly re-iterated how much they appreciate all that i've done. there's some new projects for me to tackle ~ mostly ongoing stuff, but nothing i can't handle. they want to start listening to these motivational tapes as a group. part of me says it's all bullshit, but part of me says it couldn't hurt. i'm sure they see how down i am right now, and this is their way of boosting my mood without being too intrusive.
matt strongly encouraged me to get those magnetic bracelets ~ he's got a few friends who swear by them for relieving pain. i dunno about those, but i'm hurting enough right now that i'll try ANYthing to get some relief. after consulting the pill book we have here, i found out i can't take anything for pain til 8pm tonight. what i've taken hasn't touched the pain, either. it hurts to walk, and my hands don't want to work. typing, holding a pen, or anything that requires use of my fingers is just about impossible today. if this doesn't go away by tomorrow, i'll have to bow out of lunch. it's too hard to drive, and i know i couldn't handle the 85 minute trip to columbus and back like this. *cry* i guess i have to do what i have to do.
